  • well its a form of art. I think its great!

  • Good points, but different. I wasn't thinking people thought it "wasn't art" because it was old, rather that it's strange how some people haven't moved on from a "this isn't art" position by now.

    I agree parkor is interesting, and of course contemporary. That is probably more easily accepted because of a pleasing and easily understood demonstration of skill.

    This is a piece from 1971 that considers the gallery space in a way that I feel was challenging then, but should be (?) historical now.

  • im going to see this in a couple a days because im in a an art course. i love the creative part of art, but i earlier to this course i was in a cience one, and soo im not used to these vague and not... you know real notion! In art, a inst always b, or c, or d... a is simply what you want it to be, and its not that i dont love this, but i feel like i dont know the huge hole im in XD i feel like im in the ocean and i barely know what water is XD is this feeling normal? :P

  • we call it "playground"

  • @schizophrenic123 Art has been a commodity for thousands of years. Thats how we respond to work in the Western world. We give high value to visionaries, and quickly forget those that lag and trail. If you have a problem with this...change it. Either way, demeaning other people's work in a Youtube comment box is not doing anything but proving you are art ignorant.

  • * cough * emperor`s new clothes *cough* *cough*

    The reason so much money is paid for this `art` is because new money wants to show off its peacock feathers.

    Not even very good feathers.

    Modern art definition : all the aesthetic crudeness of stone age craftwork, without the utility.

  • The exhibition looks amazing! Wish I could have seen it. For more of Morris's work visit the LUX Collection.

  • Visit the LUX Collection for Morris's work.

  • so building an assault course is now art... wow... the idiocy of people amazes me.

  • brilliance.  i just died

  • I went to the tate and put up a picture i drew in a few minutes there. I went there three weeks ago it was still there. Yes I am that good at drawing art. I have made videos my art is incredible. I did modify a few other pics. But it is still impressive.

  • Probably because this exhibition is meant to be climbed on, its interactive!

    Your son probably kicked something which is worth allot of money and could have fallen over and broken!
